Stressful Autumn Shuffle

Posted on November 16, 2020 by sheila

Posted on September 1, 2020 by sheila

Strange times all around. I’m quarantining in Rhode Island with Hope. I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now. Everything in limbo. Here’s the music that’s accompanied me over these weeks. Shuffled up. Appropriate to the chaos of the … Continue reading →

The Sheltering-in-Place iPod Shuffle

Posted on April 12, 2020 by sheila

By request: I play music as I clean. I also play music as I do my digital day job – which I am very VERY grateful for, since so many people just lost their jobs overnight. I mean, let’s be … Continue reading →

Autumnal iPod Shuffle

Posted on November 11, 2019 by sheila

“Family Tradition” – Hank Williams, Jr. Bitter! It’s such a great “fuck you” to Nashville country-music prudes and a great wielding of his autobiography as a weapon: “If I get stoned and sing all night long, it’s a family tradition.” … Continue reading →

iPod Shuffle

Posted on May 20, 2018 by sheila

It’s been a while. I’ve been driving a lot these days. Music is an escape. A gentle escape, though. Something alongside reality, something that helps me access emotions that aren’t really available to me normally. iPod Classic with the click-wheel … Continue reading →

Autumn Shuffle

Posted on October 22, 2016 by sheila

6-State Shuffle

Posted on August 3, 2016 by sheila

I headed north into the wilderness for some necessary time off. Off the grid (well, except for Instagram). The drive is long and boring: interstates all the way. Hot muggy weather outside, nice AC in the car, and 5 hours … Continue reading →
